Steps

  1. Start a new SAS session.
  2. In the SAS Program Editor, select Filethen selectOpen Program, and then select CST_SDTM/programs/create_sourcemetadata.sas.
  3. Select Runthen selectSubmit.
    This program outputs to the SAS log and creates data sets in both the results and derived/metadata subdirectories in the CST_SDTM directory.
    Note: For this program, the library information was cleaned up, so these files are not immediately accessible under Libraries in the SAS Explorer. On Microsoft Windows, you can access these files through the SAS Explorer by navigating from within the SAS Explorer starting at the node labeled My Computer. On UNIX, it is necessary for you to copy these data sets into a directory that is viewable by the SAS Explorer (for example, your Home Directory listed under Favorite Folders).
  4. Review the log to see whether there are any errors or warnings.
    There should be no errors or warnings.
  5. Review the srcmeta_results data set in the CST_SDTM/results directory to ensure that the following conditions are met:
    • The Resolved message text from message file column (named message) contains correct paths and process metadata.
    • Ensure that the column labeled Process status (named _cst_rc) is 0 for all records.
      srcmeta_results data set
    • Ensure that the data set contains 28 records.
      See the sample output above.
      Note: Values that refer to temporary directories, files, or PROCESS DATE: vary.
    • Where the Result identifier equals CST0074, the records report that study reference data was created in folder CST_SDTM/derived/metadata.
      CST0074 records
  6. Review the CST_SDTM/derived/metadata directory to ensure that the following conditions are met:
    • There are five new data sets: source_columns, source_study, source_documents, source_values, and source_tables.
    • The source_tables data set has 36 records and 15 columns.
  7. Close the SAS session.
